Zoos & Aquariums

Guest-experience venues with complex F&B and operations.

Family-first experience, seasonal operations and facility integrity — across every guest touchpoint.

What zoos and aquariums are measured on

Procurement built for guest experience and mission stewardship.

Zoos and aquariums steward conservation missions while operating large-scale guest venues. Procurement has to support concessions, retail, facilities and animal-care operations — without distracting from the mission.

Guest satisfaction, NPS, member retention

Family experience

Concessions, retail and dining experiences sourced for family-grade quality and value.

Peak season, holiday events

Seasonal operations

Supply chains tuned to the swing between school-group weekdays and peak weekends.

Per-cap spend, daypart sales

Concessions performance

Menu engineering and packaging tuned to per-cap and throughput targets.

Habitats, life-support, grounds

Facilities management

Facilities, MRO and grounds programs that protect habitat integrity and guest safety.

Conservation, education

Mission stewardship

Documented savings reinvested into conservation, education and animal-care programs.

Membership, philanthropy
